2016 Spring Cleanup and DNR Chipping Preparation — Saturday, June 4

Organized & Ready for Chipping

Our annual spring cleanup day is scheduled for Saturday, June 4.     At 9am  —  Please meet at the corral for work review and assignments.

As mentioned at our annual meeting, the DNR will again assist us with cleanup efforts and reduction of fire hazards by chipping wood piles that have been prepared through our cleanup work.  DNR chipping dates will be posted once they are known.

As a reminder……DNR  will only work on piles that have been properly stacked. Stacks must be near the road or your driveway. Do not extend stacks into the bar ditches or BSR roads as spring road maintenance will be completed prior to the DNR work. Wood must be stacked in parallel formation and logs can be up to 2 feet in diameter. Do not cut logs into short pieces. Longer logs allow for more efficient work and cleanup. Stacking similar diameter pieces together will also help the crew be more efficient. Chippings will be left on your lot.

The pictures above show how the wood needs to be stacked…..larger diameter end facing the road for easy access and handling.  If not properly stacked, the DNR crews may bypass your property. Several property owners have already stacked wood close to the roads. Now is a good time to begin if you have not already started cleaning your property and stacking wood in preparation for the chipping project.

Help Finding Puppy Requested

A 10 month old black female puppy named “Gypsie” got loose from its new owners Tuesday afternoon, May 17, and is still roaming the BSR area.  Efforts to capture the puppy have been unsuccessful at this point.  If you see and are able to capture the puppy, please call:  801-566-8249.

UPDATE: Main Gate Winter Rules in Effect For Now

Substantial snow melt has occurred during the past two weeks.  Lower roads in the association are clear, but the higher roads still have snow on them and may be difficult to navigate in personal automobiles.  Status will be reviewed again later this week and the website updated.

Main gate winter rules are still in effect.  Please respect the current ban on personal vehicles until winter restrictions have been lifted.

 Please keep the gates closed and locked at all times.

Keep BSR Safe and Secure

Let’s work together to keep our wonderful area safe and secure.

Keep the main and snowmobile gates closed and locked.  Leaving the gate(s) open compromises security for the entire BSR area.

Be certain your cabin is locked when you’re not there.

Report suspicious or criminal activity to local authorities.

Obey posted speed limits.

If selling your property, ask your realtor to control your key to the main gate. Key boxes can be stolen.
